RIP Adam West - Page 2

*BubblyShell22* · 06-10-2017, 05:30 PM

This totally sucks. I grew up on his version of Batman and loved it as corny as it was. He will definitely be missed and I loved his role in Family Guy as the mayor too.

He will definitely be missed and I hope FG does a tribute to him at some point.

Well he was 88 years old. It's not as much a surprise that he passed away as with say Carrie Fisher who was only in her 60's and her passing away that young was a travesty. As long as you make it to 80 or older, I'd say you lived a nice long life.

Adam West will always be remembered and the 60's Batman show will be rewatched till the end of time.

Adam West will always be my Batman.

Ditto, a part of me died along with him. RIP good sir. Truely nothing but pure West

For the longest time I only knew of Adam West for his parodies or tributes to the Batman '66 show, it wasn't until later that I actually got to see the show it was trying to parody.

He seemed like a really cool guy that got to embrace his legacy and became more loved because of it. I remember when the 66 show was stuck in licensing hell he decided to record audio commentary for every episode just in case it was ever released on DVD. I wonder if they actually used those, but I guess not.

When I watched the news last night, they said he died from a short battle with leukemia which is just a shame that it spread so fast. Cancer sucks. They also showed a clip of Adam on their morning show and it was hilarious.

Adam West was such a sweet sweet man when i was lucky enough to get the chance to meet him. i was SO nervous!
by the time it was finally my turn i tried my best to express how much he had meant to me and my childhood, i started becoming so overwhelmed that i was unable to speak and i my eyes started tearing up.

Adam was so gracious.
he put his hands together and nodded with a slight bow.
his speechless gesture had said it all, and it was such a warm and wonderful moment.

May his soul Rest in Peace.

Has anyone gone back to watch a few episodes of the old Batman show because of this? I went back to watch a few random episodes, I don't have time to marathon the whole show. But I watched some eps with Joker, Penguin, Riddler or Catwoman since they're the main villains.

ME TV airs it every Saturday night at midnight. I miss when it was on 7pm to 8pm,but I have it tape on the DVR each week. I saw the Lord Ffog three parter towards the series end last Wednesday afternoon and still watch the show at least two to three times a month. Look for ME TV to have some type of marathon in his honor in the next week. Probably will tkae over the Sci-fi Saturday block next Saturday. I do wish the Digital First comic continued. It was fun. Like the Boom's MMMPR series it had no $ constraints and was constantly more interesting than the Court of The Owls in New 52 that was going on concurrently with it. Batman was gotten eternally darker this day without the light of West making the character open to many interpretations. I suppose it is fitting that the sun sets in the West.

*myconius* · 06-11-2017, 03:53 PM

my set is a little buried under other dvds at the moment.
i'll have to do a bit of excavating first before i can watch it.

my favorite episodes were always the ones with Joker and/or Catwoman.

*BubblyShell22* · 06-12-2017, 07:32 AM

Yeah, I'm sure ME TV will air a marathon of some sort to honor him and that would be cool to see.

*MikeandRaph87* · 06-14-2017, 08:36 PM

As expected METV is doing a marathon tribute to Adam.However, its longer and more unique than the usual three hour block such as what was done with the great Mary Tyler Moore. Adam will be honored with Best of West from 9am EST Saturday through 1am Sunday (16 hours worth). It will include other programs along with Batman(1966).

In other news...
In light of the unexpected news of the spirit of Batman entering Heaven Warner Bros. has confirmed that Batman vs Two Face follow up to Return of the Caped Crusaders is completed and will have a release date announced soon. Expect November like the previous animated film.

Will his role as Breathtaker from the Black Scorpion TV show get a mention? West was a great villain in that tv show and it was a thrill to see his Breathtaker show up and battle the female hero Black Scorpion.

I actually watched the 1966 movie the other day. Still holds up to this day.
